Still inspiring me....

I keep meaning to toss out the 'dead' tulips sitting on the dinning room table....i really thought i was done with them!  But this morning, as i sat there eating my breakfast, i couldn't help but notice how beautiful they are...still!

After spending almost an hour on the phone this morning trying to reduce our monthly tv bill.....there's been a change in the pricing.....and we don't watch much so i wanted to reduce this as much as possible.....i had thought i'd move into exploring the painting i'm doing right now..but somehow the mood has just been ruined!   so i've been playing around with these images and feel very inspired to use them as the basis of a future piece!  

The extra is just another one that struck me!
